FJ40/BJ40 floor mat (1979+) LHD from RHD

Might be helpful

For my BJ43 I was searching for a floor mat (1979+ version). LHD is very rare and expensive.
But RHD is possible to buy on the Japanese actions.

Here are two mats
First RHD, second LHD

When I looked at my old European mat I found special dots

This old European mat also had similar points for the RHD

I was surprised when I found on RHD the positions for the LHD cut

So it looks like Toyota produced the unified mats and put the holes for both markets. Later the cut was produced depends on the market LHD or RHD

So if you lucky you can create a LHD mat from RHD. About 350 usd +cut & fill

Inside this mat looks very authentic

Makes sense otherwise they would have put a outline like all the shifters. Those are the same RHD and LHD. The hand brake the only one different.

Few more simplified pictures

As you may see the RHD cut is a bit shorter.
So RHD mat into LHD is possible; LHD mat into RHD might not work well
